- Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. Spray a Bundt Cake pan with baking spray.

Once the cranberries become a compote, after about 10 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the unsalted butter and sugar and mix until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time. Use a rubber spatula and scrape the sides of the bowl to mix well. Add the oil, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients ½ cup at a time and the remaining 1 cup of cranberries to the cake batter. Spread half of the batter into the bundt pan, add the cranberry compote across the top of the first cake batter layer. Add the remaining cake batter on top of the compote. Use a knife and swirl the cake around into the batter. Bake in preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or a toothpick can be inserted and comes out clean.
